Details:
Critical praise for Searching for Jane Crow, Talitha L. LeFlouria’s new book, has been astonishing. The author centers Black women at the core of a fresh argument: that the system of mass incarceration was established as protection for the institution of slavery and that this legacy continues today. Boldly approached and meticulously researched, the book is a trailblazing work — a “paradigm-shifting account,” says Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow — that lays bare the long, painful history of the criminalization and incarceration of Black women and girls. Come meet Dr. LeFlouria, in conversation with Tafeni English, director of the SPLC, Thursday, August 13 at 5:30pm, at The NewSouth Bookstore.
